Who is Berghoef?BERGHOEF, AN INTERNATIONAL PLAYERBerghoef is part of the UNILIN Group, itself a subsidiary of the stock exchange listed company MOHAWK Industries Inc., the largest flooring company in the world.

We design, manufacture and deliver tailor-made mezzanine flooring panels based on a given steel structure.

OUR CIRCULAR THOUGHT To support our growth over the years, we are always on the lookout for sustainable materials and invest in our own biomass systems.

LOCAL WOODWe use only wood sourced from locations within a 400 km radius of the production sites. This local import of wood is the result of partnerships with recycling yards, demolition firms, the packaging industry and even our own customers.

100% CIRCULAR WOODThanks to high-tech selection and sorting processes, we are able to ensure that our Mezzanine floor panels are made from up to 85% recycled wood, supplemented by wood from waste streams of the timber industry, sustainable forestry and roadside maintenance.

WOOD AS A SOURCE OF ENERGYWood and residues which are not suitable for the production of panels are used to produce heat for our production plants or to generate green energy in our biomass systems. Our goal is always to ensure that none of this natural resource goes to waste.

Fire safetyWhen a fire breaks out, every second counts. The slower the fire spreads and the smoke develops, the more time there is to limit damage and to evacuate. There are two important elements to fire safety: fire reaction and fire resistance.

WHAT IS FIRE REACTION?

Many people who perish in a fire do so because of suffocation or rapid spread of the fire. The fire reaction of a product determines its contribution to these factors.

WHAT IS FIRE RESISTANCE?

Fire resistance refers to the capacity of a construction element to retain its supporting function, integrity and/or thermal insulation for a specified time in the event of fire. The higher the fire resistance of a construction element, the better the element is capable of limiting the spread of fire to other areas.

BERGHOEF FIRE-RESISTANCE SOLUTIONS*

Flameshield Supreme Deluxe P6(U7) floor panels have been tested to 30 minute fire resistance (REI30, only applies in accordance with a specific floor construction*). The floor panels are installed with a Feather & groove / Tongue & groove joint, attached with bolts and supported by unprotected steel beams. In addition to the weight of the floor, an additional distributed floor load is placed on the mezzanine floor.

* The fire resistance achieved applies only for a specific tested floor construction. Variations in this construction do not give rise to the same result, by definition.

Flooring typeMezzanine P4, P5, P6(U7)1 & P82.

Spacing L (mm)The greater the distance between the supports underneath the floor panel, the greater the deflection of the floor panel for the same load, or the lower the maximum possible load. Spacing that exceeds 1000 mm is not recommended.

Service classA high air humidity reduces the strength and stiffness of the panels. Mezzanine P5 floor panels can be installed in humid conditions (service class 2). Mezzanine P4 and P6 are most suitable in dry conditions (service class 1).Safety factor Ψ2

We recommend taking into account a safety factor of Ψ2 = 0.8 for storage areas in industrial environments. For storage areas in shops or meeting rooms, we apply a safety factor of ΨΨ2 = 0.6, for residential units or offices is 0,3 used.

Load durationThe longer a load is placed on the panels, the longer the panels are under stress and the more the panels will deflect.

Deflection criterionIn specifying the maximum loading, both strength criterion and permissible deflection are tested. The maximum deflection for distributed loads is max. L/250 or 6mm (Eurocode 5) and for point loads max. L/100 or 6 mm (EN 12871).

UNIFORM DISTRIBUTED LOAD (UDL)

A uniform distributed load is a load distributed on the floor surface. The maximum distributed load is calculated using methods outlined in the Eurocodes and panel properties, determined in accordance with EN 789 and EN 1058.

Load bearing capacityThe Mezzanine floor panel must be sufficiently strong to absorb all forces, distributed and point loads, whereby the floor should deflect only to a very limited extent. Berghoef has compiled indicative load tables as a support aid for architects or engineering offices.

PARAMETERS

The following parameters have been taken into account in compiling the load tables and influence the result.

1 - P6 Board of Unilin with improved characteristics. 2 - Unofficial Berghoef name for board with density ±750kg/m3.

POINT LOAD (PL)

Point loads are loads that are restricted to a concentrated area, such as the stamp of racks and wheels of transport pallets.

Critical Pressure point

The floor panels are placed on supporting beams, whereby pressure points of 50mm x 50mm ( ) exert the point loads on the floor. The characteristic strength and stiffness of the floor is determined by 3 parameters.

Fmax,k The characteristic load-bearing capacity in the ultimate limit state is converted to a maximum point load at which the floor panel experiences a fracture.

Fser,k The characteristic load-bearing capacity in the service limit state determines the limit of the elastic region within which the maximum point load must remain.

Rmean The average stiffness of the panel and the deflection criterion determine the maximum point load.

These three parameters are converted to a maximum point load for the Mezzanine floor in accordance with EN 12871, where the most critical value is retained as the maximum point load.

To determine the maximum point loads on Mezzanine floor panels, the panels are subjected to real-scale load testing in accordance with EN 1195.

Technical manualGENERAL

The mezzanine panels can be installed to create a complete floor surface, mezzanine floor or intermediate floor suitable for the storage and transport of goods. Hand pallet trucks for transport should ideally be equipped with a dual steering wheel and double tandem wheels to help distribute the load, reduce point friction and minimise wheel wear. If laminated floor panels (Deluxe and Antislip) are installed, we recommend the use of soft wheels instead of hard polyamide wheels. The stamp of racks must have minimum dimensions of 50 mm x 50 mm. Larger dimensions are better at distributing the load.

A leveled supporting steel structure is required to ensure a leveled basis for the floor panels and to rule out differences in height between the individual panels. This difference in height, referred to as ‘stepping’, can give rise to erosion or damage to the surface of the floor.

FLOOR CONSTRUCTION

The floor panels are placed perpendicular to the direction of the beams with the joints of the short panel sides staggered between laterally adjacent panels. The short panel side must always be supported by a beam in order to ensure the maximum bearing force of the floor system.

Each floor panel is supported by at least 3 support beams 1 . Reducing the number of support beams can have an impact on the maximum permissible load.

The floor panels transfer the load to the secondary beams, which in turn transfer the load to the main beams 2 3 .

2

4

Max. 200 mm

The edge zone of the floor must be supported by the underlying steel structure. Loaded cantilevers are strongly discouraged and may protrude from the bearing structure by a maximum of 200 mm 4 .

The edges of the floor area are often finished with a bumper and handrail attached to the panels. A metal lip is often installed on the edge around the perimeter of the mezzanine floor surface 5 .

In heavily used areas like loading zones or high traffic zones, the Mezzanine floor panel may be protected with, for example, a diamond plate 6 .

FASTENERS

ScrewsThe Mezzanine floor panels are attached to the metal structure with screws. The fastener that is most suitable for your project should be determined in consultation with the engineering office and the producer of the fastener.

The following parameters may play a role in selecting the correct screw:

• A self-drilling screw is most suitable so that pre-drilling and threading of the screw occurs in a single movement. The point of the screw will always pre-drill at the right diameter.

• A self-tapping screw is most suitable so that the screw thread can tap into the sheet steel and secure the attachment.

• The length of the screw is determined according to the thickness of the floor panel, the sheet steel and the drilling point. The drilling point should ideally pierce 2 to 3 screw threads past the sheet steel. For example: the combination of a 38 mm Mezzanine panel, 3 mm sheet steel, a drilling point of 23 mm and 1 mm screw thread gives a screw length of 65 mm.

• Wing teks or wing pias on screws are recommended so that the wood is made slightly larger than the screw. This allows the wood to expand and shrink without exerting any tension on the screw.

• A screw thread with milling ribs or dips ensures that the head is properly leveled into the wood for a neat surface finish.

• A screw head with a torx or AW drive transfers a higher torque to the screw without damaging the bit or the screw itself. This helps to extend the service life of the screw and simplify installation.

• A screw thread with ‘cutting grooves’ removes the superfluous sheet material so that the screw is less likely to jam.

• A rustproof A2 coating is the most universal coating with exceptional corrosion resistance under normal atmospheric conditions. An A4 coating helps to increase resistance against pitting in aggressive environments such as coastal locations and industrial areas. A Ruspert coating reduces the effect of cold welding and helps to increase resistance to weather.

Example screws:Wurth - ZEBRA wing pias BS

Diameter: 6.3 mmLength: 70 mm

Adhesive for Tongue&groove and feather&groove connection.We recommend using adhesive in the joints. This helps to increase the overall resistance of the floor and to limit vibration and cracking as a result of expansion. In addition, an adhesive joint can help to minimise stepping if the substructure is uneven. The most suitable adhesives are PVAc adhesive (type D4, waterproof white wood glue) or PU adhesive.

Example adhesive:Wurth RAPID PUR CONSTRUCT FIX.

INSTALLATION

The panels are slid together during installation. If attachments are being used, take care not to use anything that could damage the surface finish or joints.

Mezzanine floor panels are typically attached to the substructure from above 1 2 . If you do not wish to puncture the surface, you can attach the panels from the bottom side with the support beams and floor panel pre-drilled before screwing.

The screws must be countersunk to prevent damage.

The screws are placed a minimum of 20 mm from the tongue edge, 25 mm from the groove edge 3 25 mm from a feather-edge and 15 mm for a straight edge. The joint should ideally lie flat above the web of the beam. In the event that the joint edges too far towards the open side, the flange of the beam will deflect more quickly in the event of a load on the grooved edge, which will cause stepping more quickly.

For panel widths of 600 mm and 850 mm, a minimum of 3 attachment points is recom-mended per cross beam 4 and a minimum of 4 attachment points for a panel width of 1000 mm 5 .

The number of attachment points can be reduced for intermediate crossbeams 6 .

Wooden floor panels may expand or shrink in changing temperatures and humidity. This dimensional change can be absorbed by expansion joints.

Mezzanine floor panels are installed separately from the production hall with a minimum 80 mm distance so that the largest expansions can be absorbed at the periphery

7 . In addition, expansion joints must also be installed at columns or other objects that prevent a continuous floor 8 .

Where one side of a floor surface is longer than 10 m, it is advisable to install an additional expansion joint of 10 mm every 10 m, as recommended in the standard DTU 51.3 and CEN TS 12872. This joint must be protected to prevent damage. When installing additional expansion joints, support must be ensured by, for example, installing an additional support beam.

sGENERAL CONDITIONS AND STORAGE

Mezzanine panels are stacked horizontally in packages and should be stored in a dry environment. Direct contact with the ground floor must be avoided by using supporting blocks or pallets. If there is a risk of damp ground, a water-tight film must be laid over the ground before the packages are stacked. The storage area must be dry and well ventilated.

We recommend having the floor panels delivered to the site at least a week before

installation so that the panels can adapt to the environment. In that case, the storage conditions should be harmonised with the final application of the panels. Where there is a risk of higher humidity (e.g. in cement plants), work should be postponed until the correct conditions prevail. High air humidity can lead to a decrease in the strength and stiffness of the panels.

CLIMATISE

FINISH AND MAINTENANCEMezzanine floors with an unfinished surface (e.g. Standard and White) may be sanded to prepare the surface for later finishing. While sanding, ensure that proper dust extraction is in place and remove all remaining dust particles afterwards. The floors can be cleaned with a brush, compressed air or a damp cloth. Direct industrial cleaning withwater is discouraged on all wooden floors different than the HT-board.

If the panels have already been installed, damage to the surface can be repaired with a standard elastomer kit, such as Tec7 or wood paste. If the panels are still to be installed, they can firstly be repaired with PU D4 adhe-sive. Superfluous adhesive should be cut off after installation.
